lewis - that training plan is too hard...

for a 5k race you do not need to do such long runs and it is far to hard...

i am the same standard as this mr tom and no way could i run your training schedule...

tom, what i did was increase my runs from 3 runs a week to 5 or 6...

i posted my training plan here on this forum maybe that'll be useful:

http://www.runnersforum.co.uk/training/2769-revs-training-plan.html

i have adapted it a bit... so i think it is good to be flexible with it and when you have rest days...etc.

e.g. i found that i wasn't able to do very long runs (as people suggested)... so what i did to increase endurance was to run 3.5 twice and 5 miles 3 thrice... i have neglected speedwork a bit... i cut out tempo session... i'll do farklets tomorrow and maybe i'll go crazy and do it twice, lol...

good luck!
